Summary
Cast out from her people for her crimes, the Forsworn Nemain somehow ends up in Helgen and meets the sworn enemy of her people, the man Madanach has sent her on a mission to kill: Ulfric Stormcloak.
Forsworn sympathizer, hater of Nords and remorseless killer, Nemain must decide what prejudices she will cling to, as she begrudgingly begins to respect the Bear of Markarth.
Can a heart once broken begin beating anew? Surely never for the man who slaughtered every man, woman and child of the Reach who stood against him.
Bitter and betrayed, this is the tale of Nemain the Dragonborn.
*Starts out canon compliant, and then goes into heavy AU territory. Lots of plot bunnies wreaking havoc: whatever happened to the Forsworn after the Cidna Mine incident? Is Ulfric Stormcloak merely a racist jingoistic dingleberry, or does he have 'layers'? And what if the Mage's Guild main quest didn't end there, but was blended with several Daedric quest storylines?
...and away we go.

Summary
Runemar Torsen, Son of Thunder, Harbinger of the Compaions, Bane of Dragons, Slayer of Aludin, and Last Dragonborn could feel it. A Prince approached. "You need to leave, right now," he said to his wife, Serana Torsen, and daughter, Rigmor Torsen. "I can't fight him and protect you at the same time," he cut off their protests, "Go, Now!" Serana, grabbed his head and slammed her lips into his, in a last desperate kiss, while Rigmor crashed into his side, hugging him for all his worth. Hearing the gate open, Runemar called out, "GO!" as he turned to face the danger.

Nanwen the Dragonborn, a Bosmer with a nearly unhealthy love for mushrooms, receives a soup recipe as a reward, which calls for several varieties of the edible fungi. Eager to try it out, she embarks on a quest to collect the ingredients.
And as always, what at first appears to be a simple task swiftly transforms into something a good deal bigger than she bargained for.

Always Read the Fine Print by paraparadigm

Summary
Vera's world ended not with a bang, but with a whimper: the year is 2095, the world in the throes of late-stage climate change. The Earth will keep going, the humans - not so much. As it turns out, the apocalypse is contagious: either that, or she has spectacularly bad luck. Waking up naked on a bloody altar isn't the best introduction to a new place, but you make do with what life hands you. After a rocky start, Vera finds herself in Markarth, trying to make a new home for herself amidst the violence, corruption, and Thalmor zealotry. But just when things are finally settling down - as much as they can in the city of blood and silver - a Nord and a Dunmer roll into town with the mother of all bad deals. Always read the fine print.
This series starts about a year before the events of the game and will continue through the timeline and the DLCs. This fic is the first installment. Canon-compliant(ish), but skews towards a lot of original content. Narration is in 3rd person limited; the protagonist is not the Dragonborn.
Please note: content warnings applied to individual chapters.
